Here is a story about a British man who believes his gold-digging (now-Ex) wife was having an affair before they ended their marriage, and to demonstrate her gold-diggery, he put her up as an auction item on eBay and is trying to sell her to the highest bidder. Bids have now hit 500,000 pounds. As of May 15 2008, that amount translates into $973,308 in U.S. dollars. Do I hear 1 million? Going once... going twice..."

A JEALOUS husband who suspected his wife of an affair took revenge -- by putting her for sale on eBay.

Paul Osborn, 44, kicked out wife Sharon and advertised her on the internet auction site -- with bids hitting £500,100.

It offered his "cheating, lying, adulterous slag of a wife" to the highest bidder -- and became an internet phenomenon, with users forwarding the link worldwide. But Sharon, 43, denies an affair and cops are now investigating Paul for harassment.

MoT inspector Paul heard rumours in March that Network Rail manager Sharon, his wife of 24 years, was having an affair with a man at work.

Dad-of-two Paul, of Bletchley, Bucks, said: "I started checking her emails and I realised the rumours were true. They had been discussing their sex life together and making plans for the future.

"I was absolutely destroyed. I gathered all her stuff in bags and dumped it in the drive."

Three weeks ago, Sharon pleaded for Paul to take her back. She moved back in, but two weeks later, Paul was again convinced she was cheating.

Paul said: "In a fit of rage I put the advert on eBay. I later took it off because I realised it wasn't the right thing to do. I was just so angry."

Sharon and her colleague made a police complaint against Paul. Neither was available for comment last night. But the unnamed man's wife said at home in Hemel Hempstead, Herts: "There's nothing going on. They work in the same office, that's all."

Thames Valley Police confirmed it was investigating, saying: "Statements have been taken from two people."
